Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXV: Halfway to Christmas

[Hollywood Cannon]

Chicago can get Bedard, won’t matter The tear down they have started ensures they become the next Sabres or Coyotes. An irrelevant franchise for at least a decade

 

[Curufinwe]

Kadri might be getting 7 x $8m for NYR

 

[Rebels57]

Kadri might be getting 7 x $8m for NYR

That team is going to shit all over the Flyers next season.

Trade TDA b/c you won't pay him $5M but then get 37 year old Burns at $8M - guess they're gonna ask for 50% retention.

 

[Tripod]

Rumor of Petry already being traded, just waiting on his signing bonus day to arrive so Habs can pay it.

 

[Flybynite]

MASSIVE offer from Calagary?

TAKE THE OFFER AND SIGN

TAKE THE OFFER AND SIGN

He's going to now that it appears Chucky Draft Picks has taken away any chance at signing him with his Risto/Racist extensions.

Rumor of Petry already being traded, just waiting on his signing bonus day to arrive so Habs can pay it.

Plus, PLD rumoured to join MTL.

I'm listening to the Evolving Hockey podcast. In support of the Nichushkin contract, they were talking about how this should help people realize teams are not just going by Points or Hits anymore. Here's a cleaned up quote for you all to enjoy:

Colorado is one of the smartest teams in the league. They just won a Cup. They've been kind of the model for how you build a team. They had some good draft stuff and they tanked or had an absurdly bad year one year and they got Cale Makar at 4th, so obviously some things broke their way. But they're the ones that just committed [this contract] to Nichushkin, so do you not value [unintelligible] that way? This is the Colorado Avalanche signing that, it's not like, you know, the Flyers signing that.

Yep, that floats. That's where they are.

 

[Cody Webster]

Why isn't this guy on payroll yet?

I was just listening to one podcast (they are all running together but I wanna say it was either Meltzer or ASF) and they were still going off of the 10 points = $1 million model.

Speaking of which, I guess he misses chunks of time but Edler signing for 750k plus bonuses looks like a steal. He might just be a west coast guy now, but I wanted him last year.

I was actually not as much of a fan of the twins' work before I started listening to this. I used it, but I had some questions here and there. Now that I hear them explain things out loud, every other explanation is, "This is (Dave Cameron/Voros McCracken/Fangraphs Writer X's) idea modified to fit hockey." I'm good with that.

"teams are not just going by Points or Hits anymore"

The Flyers are ahead of the game because they haven't been paying for point nor hits for a while.

Gonna ride a 97 year old MAF?

Sign samsonov?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Guess Bill Guerin did have some things to think about and some shit to do.

 

[Cody Webster]

Traded to the Sens. Sens get rid of a terrible goalie only to get a better one for less. The exact opposite of peak Chuck

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Why isn't this guy on payroll yet?

All he did was golf, appear occasionally at games in Florida sitting with Hawks execs and show up at draft

He was literally paid to do nothing for years here in Chicago as essentially an ambassador

He has basically been retired for years now

Sounds like a perfect fit for the Flyers FO

 

[bennysflyers16]

Sens outsmarting the Leafs is fun !!

Sounds like after some time to think about he didn’t want a disgruntled backup around. They save over $2M in cap space with the goalie swap.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Panthers offered Giroux 1yr , 1 mill per Lebrun on overdrive lol

Their cap is a mess

Could probably get 3 × $6 from multiple teams easily...but is the Cup pursuit worth it?
